The Italian Summer
The Italian Summer
Golf, Food, and Family at Lake Como
Touchstone, Hardcover, 9781416563532, 272pp.
Publication Date: April 28, 2009
Fore, bella! From the author of critically acclaimed Golfing with God comes a charming narrative of a hole-in-one trip through Italy -- a glorious summer of golfing, eating, and learning how to slow down and enjoy life.
In the summer of 2007, Roland Merullo was feeling a little burnt out by the frantic pace of his life in the United States and decided to rent an Italian villa near the shore of Lake Como. He arrived in Italy with his wife and two young daughters, hoping the Mediterranean air would teach him to appreciatethe more relaxed, Italian way of living: a focus on food, family, and fun. An avid golfer and golf writer, Merullo also set out to enjoy one of Italy's lesser-known treasures: excellent golf on some gorgeous courses.
With his customary wit, keen eye, and down-to-earth style, Merullo shares this fascinating account of his summer in Italy, offering detailed and often humorous descriptions of wonderful meals, colorful characters, rounds of golf at some of the most beautiful courses in Europe, and precious time spent with family. The Italian Summer brings to life the myriad joys of Italian existence in a way that all lovers of food, wine, travel, and the proverbial "good walk spoiled" will savor.
Roland Merullo was born in Boston and raised in the working-class city of Revere, Massachusetts. He had a scholarship to Exeter Academy and graduated in 1971, went to Boston University for two years, transferred to Brown and graduated from Brown in 1975, then earned a Master's there in 1976. Roland has published seven novels and two books of non-fiction, and he and his family have traveled to Italy eight times in the past twelve years. He currently lives in Massachusetts with his wife Amanda and their two daughters, Alexandra and Juliana.

on the go cleanser is rated out of 5 by 17.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Catherine S from I adore Ole's products and have tried about dozen of his various cleansers, moisturizers, scrubs, toners etc over the years. This has to be my favorite cleanser! Only a tiny dollop on my facial sponge creates a thick silky foamy lather, that feels fabulous, has the subtle elegant orange-like fragrance of neroli oil, and leaves my dry "starting to mature" skin oh so clean, glowing, and soft. Love the Apricot cleanser too -- and this one is just as thorough-yet-gentle. Divine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fififair1 from Non-drying My daughter gave me a sample of Ole Henriksen's Concealer for my under eyes, thus began my love affair with Ole Henriksen products. I've been using the On the Go cleanser for about three weeks now. Just a dime sized amount makes loads of suds to cleanse your face. I love the orange scent and light texture of the cleanser. The bottle is quite large and should last quite a while making it very cost effective. I love how clean yet how soft it makes my face feel. It unclogs your pores and makes your skin more receptive to absorbing the skin care products. I love that they also send three free samples with every order and it doesn't matter how much you spend. Would highly recommend this cleanser for all skin types. Does not remove waterproof mascara very well but regular mascara it melts right off.
Date published: 2016-07-17
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cynthia from I love this cleanser! I use to have a hard time coaxing myself to the sink at night to wash my face. It was a chore. Since I started using this cleanser, I look forward to it. It's my reward at the end of a long, hard day. The texture is luxurious. The lather is creamy and beautiful. It leaves my skin fresh and clean but never dry. The beautiful feel of this cleanser along with the fresh, clean scent is one of my favorite indulgences of the day.
Date published: 2009-11-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by Christine from I have tried everything! REALLY...everything. Most cleansers I used left a trace of makeup, or it felt sticky. I always test my products, after cleaning my face with "on the go cleanser" I took a cotton ball, with toner, and I ran it across my entire face, and the cotton ball was still white afterwards. I am in love. Not only does it clean my face, but it feels soft, and looks amazing. I also us "nurture me" face lotion. Love that too!
Date published: 2011-07-10
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ashley from I do like the on the the go cleanser used in conjunction with the pick me up toner. It does a good job at cleaning the face without making it feel dry. I gave it 4 stars because even though it is good I still break out every now and then. Just a note that if you dont like the smell of orange you probably will not like this since it has a strong scent of orange soda
Date published: 2010-07-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by Noelle from Once again, another great product! I've tried many product lines and this one has been the best! Doesn't dry my skin out, makes it feel great. Some might think $30.00 a bottle is pricey, but I've been using my 12 oz. bottle for 9 months and I still have quite a bit left. It will easily last me a year, can't beat that for value! Best stuff ever!
Date published: 2010-01-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by Casper from Talk about summer luxury. This cleanser makes my skin feel fresh and clean before I put on my day cream. I have normal-dry skin and can only use this cleanser in the summer time, but in that time, it is perfect.
Date published: 2010-02-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by Theresa from This is a great cleanser. Just need a little bit very concentrated and lather up really good. Leaves face very clean. I always follow up with the toner asd well and then I know a;; make up is removed

The Mid-coast of Maine has a lot to offer to the visitor. Guests at the Maine Stay Inn can sail in a windjammer, walk easily to the wonderful Camden Hills State Park, where you will find over thirty miles of trails. You can eat lobsters (of course!) very close to where they have been caught, sit on the rock on top of Mt. Battie, where the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay used to spend hours gaining inspiration while looking at the hundreds of islands in the bay. You can also play golf on one of the country's premier courses.
Camden is known as "the village where the mountains meet the sea", and it is a beautiful seaside town. Come to enjoy one of the most photographed harbors in New England, churches with high steeples, elegant streets with attractive shops, restaurants, parks and stately old mansions. The Maine Stay Inn is one of them, one of the most beautiful and well preserved.
Camden will please everybody. Shopping, hiking, golf, boating and kayaking in summer; snowshoeing, skiing, ice fishing, ice skating, ice sailing or snowmobiling in winter…all in a very close distance.
We are just four blocks to over thirty miles of wonderful Camden Hills State Park trails. While here you can play golf on one of the country's premier courses, sail in a windjammer, eat lobster within yards of where they are being caught or sit on the rock at the top of Mt. Battie where poet Edna St. Vincent Millay sat to gaze at the islands in the bay and gain inspiration.

Shameless! Brad Pitt's Chanel No.5 advert shows images of an Angelina-esque brunette and a golden girl just like Jen... as he waffles about love and fate
He may well complain about media outlets refusing to let go of the non-existent love triangle between himself, his ex-wife and his fiancee... but Brad Pitt doesn't help himself.
Especially, when he's promoting something.
Scroll down for video
Wistful: Is Brad Pitt meditating on his love life with Jennifer and Angelina in this Chanel No.5 advert?
Just last year Brad put his foot in by seemingly calling his relationship with Jennifer Aniston 'boring' while promoting his brilliant film, Moneyball; despite having split from the Friends actress five years ago.
The 48-year-old apologised of course, but both the comment and the correction earned him and the film enough coverage to fill one of the baseball stadiums it featured.
Now, in his ridiculously cheesy Chanel No.5 advert, we have an unusually po-faced and cheesy Pitt meditating (if you're being kind, he's waffling really) on love and fate over a sequence of artful shots of a vampy brunette and a beach loving blonde beauty.
No coincidence? The advert features a gothic, vampy brunette and a beach blonde beauty
It's a non too subtle evocation of the two women that Brad has most famously loved.
The brunette is first seen in a long black gown, the sort that his partner Angelina Jolie, 37, favours, with fierce dark lipstick, while the blonde has tousled beach hair and is pictured barefoot and in a lighter gown, clearly evoking 43-year-old Aniston's style.
Coincidence, it most likely isn't in a £4m campaign that will be seeking to draw as much of Brad's legend to the fore to persuade women to buy the iconic, but dated fragrance.
Familiar: The brunette's dramatic style is evocative of Angelina's
Midas touch: Gold dress and smooth straw blonde hair... we've seen this somewhere before
Individual style: Both Angelina and Jennifer have maintained the same specific look, vampy and exotic meets Valley girl shine
He's the first male face, and Chanel can only be hoping that his sex appeal will make young women wear the scent so inextricably linked to Marilyn Monroe; it was all she wore in bed.
Watch the ad here...
Over the imagines, Brad issues a dramatic and meaningless monologue that begins: 'It's not a journey, every journey ends... but we go on.'
'The world turns and we turn with it, and plans disappear, dreams take over... but wherever I go, there you are, my luck, my fate, my fortune.'
For the first time in its 91 year history, the perfume is being endorsed by a male celebrity.
Up close and personal: Brad speaks seductively to the camera in Chanel No.5 commercial
Brad said in a statement, rather self-indulgently: 'What's important to remember about Chanel N°5 is how revolutionary this fragrance is. When it was introduced, it broke all the rules by discarding meaningless ornamentation for an honest and open aesthetic, and a scent which embodies liberation from trend, creating a fragrance which remains as modern today as it was during its inception. Chanel N°5 has always been the most iconic women's fragrance.
'The beauty of its success for all these years is both elegantly simple and complex at the same time. That's what I see being the appeal of this campaign ; it goes beyond the abstract of emotion or beauty to evoke what is timeless, a woman's spirit,' he continued.
Those piecing eyes: Brad looks into the camera as he walks ever closer
Lucky Angelina: Brad finishes by addressing his one inescapable true love
Director Joe Wright - whose previous works include two Keira Knightley movies Atonement and Anna Karenina - shot the full commercial, which premieres in full on 15 October.
Wright was also behind the recent cinematic Coco Mademoiselle commercial featuring Knightley haring around Paris on a motorbike.
In one sneak preview black-and-white photographs for the new campaign, artist Sam Taylor-Wood has captured the actor and director in a contemplative, mid-shoot mood.
Director's cut: Brad Pitt, left, and Chanel No.5 advert director Joe Wright, right, during shooting of the commercial
It was revealed back in May that Hollywood star was going to front Chanel's new campaign, and Andrea d'Avack, a spokesman for Chanel, said: 'To keep a legend fresh, you always have to change its point of view. It is the first time we've had a man speaking about a women's fragrance.
'We think very much that the perfume is a seduction between a man, a woman and the perfume. No.5 is our leading fragrance, and we are willing to make the investment to keep it on that level.'
The actor follows in the footsteps of actresses including Monroe, Nicole Kidman, Audrey Tautou and Catherine Deneuve.
Let's hear it for the girls: Nicole Kidman became the face of Chanel in 2003, left, and a billboard poster for the scent, right

In his speech today from Jacksonville, FL, President Obama called again for an increase in infrastructure investment in order to modernize our ports, roads and rail and create jobs. In our recent paper, "Setting Priorities, Meeting Needs: The Case for a National Infrastructure Bank," we laid out the argument for the creation of an infrastructure bank that would leverage private money to meet public needs and would allow us to invest in much needed upgrades to our aging infrastructure.
The choice of Jacksonville to give this speech allowed the president to highlight the potential of public-private partnerships in infrastructure investment. The port of Jacksonville received $10 million in federal funding in 2011 to help complete an intermodal container facility. The federal support helped to close the gap in funding for the $45 million project. Unfortunately, however, the news is not all good, as the president conceded. Jacksonville is not prepared, nor are any other ports in the U.S. save Norfolk, VA, to accept the new "supertankers" that will begin to pass through the Panama Canal once its expansion is complete in 2014. The president emphasized the regional economic gains that come from increased capacity, but stated, "If we want to compete, our ports have to be ready," and he urged Congress to join him in making infrastructure investment a priority. Strong infrastructure, the president said, is a "key ingredient to a thriving economy." Infrastructure projects create good middle class jobs, and intermodal facilities such as those at the port of Jacksonville spur economic growth.
Yes, public coffers are strained at the federal and state levels, but by neglecting to invest in our infrastructure we would be undermining our future competitiveness. We must find more effective and efficient ways of using public resources to catalyze private investment. A National Infrastructure Bank would do just that, encouraging private investments in our nation's infrastructure without putting undue pressure on strained public budgets.
President Obama is right to call for increased investments in needed upgrades, and the Congress should consider one of the numerous bills that have proposed an infrastructure bank to help support those costs. It would help to create good jobs now and make us a more competitive nation in the future--just the combination our economy needs.

Once in a great while a unique book comes along. This is such a book. In a brief 194 pages the contributors discuss an aspect of surgery from a perspective that has not been previously considered.
In the preface the editors correctly point out that "... minimally invasive surgery has blended basic concepts... with improved technology" and that "We are currently functioning with the first generation of equipment not specially designed for minimally invasive surgery." In their book they present both old and new methods for gaining abdominal access. This includes classic surgical incisions, endoscopy, and various types of intraperitoneal approaches using minimally invasive surgery. Additionally, even newer methods that include the subcutaneous lift system and planar lifting are discussed. Surgeons who have not had experience with these latter two methods will find the descriptions fascinating, informative, and complete.
The two chapters on complications of CO2 pneumoperitoneum are particularly interesting.

The bed is too hard and dusty.. My girlfriend gets redness on her hands and body
Indeed, It was just ok. The view to the bay is very good though. The bathroom is old. The curtain in the bathroom was just so dirty and I don't even think that we are be able to wash and reuse it. The room is big and comfortable. I chose a superior room with a double bed. In fact, It was not a real big bed, It was 2 single beds getting together. When you sleep,you will feel like you have a line behind your back Wifi is suck. I had to ask them to fix it several time. The hotel staffs are helpful and really nice. They showed me the way to some places with local street food. I spoke with them in Vietnamese. I don't really know whether they could deal with the foreigner.
The room was comfortable and large and the staff friendly and accomodating. The shower was the best i have had in vietnam. Very good water pressure, great hot water and a great shower head. The shower was roomy and i didnt need to stoop, being tall, to get under the shower.
The hotel location was nice but the room was not even worth the 3 stars rating. The bathroom was dirty and the shower was basically dripping instead of having good running water. The refrigerator is disgusting because they have it unplugged when no one's in the room so the fridge smelled really bad. Pretty sure there was mold along the edge. The breakfast buffet was ok. But if you ever want to have lunch or dinner then make sure to plan it at least 30 minutes before you want to eat because they said it would take at least that to cook.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Syria's Al Qaeda linked opposition kidnaps 50 Kurds
Jihadists in northern Syria have kidnapped more than 50 Kurds in the past three days, in the second such case of mass hostage-taking since July, a monitoring group said Thursday.
The kidnappings come months into major battles for control of several parts of northern Syria that have pitted Kurdish fighters against jihadists, chiefly the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
"In the past three days, ISIL has kidnapped at least 51 Kurds in the towns of Minbej and Jarablus," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Among the hostages were nine children and a woman, said the Britain-based group, adding that there was no information on where they had been taken.
Minbej and Jarablus are located in Aleppo province, which is home to a Kurdish minority.
The kidnappings come weeks after Kurdish fighters further east, in majority Kurdish areas, expelled jihadists after battles that lasted several months.
In response, the jihadists have imposed a siege on Kurdish areas of Aleppo, where Kurdish fighters are weaker, said Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman.
In July, ISIL kidnapped some 200 Kurdish civilians from the Kurdish towns of Tal Aran and Tal Hassel also in Aleppo province. Only a few of those hostages have since been released, the Observatory says.

Lahore (/ləˈhɔər/) (Punjabi: لہور, Urdu: لاہور) is the capital city of the province of Punjab, the second-largest metropolitan area in Pakistan and with a population of 10,052,000 people, it is the 15th-most-populous city in the world.[2] It is an important historical centre in South Asia. With a rich history dating back over a millennium, Lahore is a main cultural centre of the Punjab region and Pakistan, and is the largest Punjabi city in the world.[4]
Lahore, ancient Lava Puri named after Lava - son of Rama, served as the regional capital of the empires of the Hindu Shahi kingdom in the 11th century, the Ghaznavids in the 12th century, the Ghurid State in the 12th and 13th centuries and the Mughal Empire in the 16th century. From 1802 to 1849, Lahore served as the capital city of the Sikh Empire. In the mid-19th and early 20th century, Lahore was the capital of the Punjab region under the British Raj.[5]
The traditional capital of Punjab for a millennium, Lahore was the cultural centre of the northern Indian subcontinent which extends from the eastern banks of the Indus River to New Delhi.[6][7] Mughal structures such as the Badshahi Mosque, the Lahore Fort, Shalimar Gardens, the mausolea of Jehangir and Nur Jahan are some of the major tourist attractions in the city. Lahore is also home to many British colonial structures built in the Indo-Saracenic style, such as the General Post Office, Lahore Museum and many older universities and colleges.
Lahore is referred to as the cultural heart of Pakistan, as it hosts most of the arts, cuisine, festivals, music, film-making, gardening and intelligentsia of the country.[6] The city has always been a centre for publications where 80% of Pakistan's books are published, and it remains the foremost centre of literary, educational and cultural activity in Pakistan.[8] It is also home to hundreds of temples, mosques, churches and shrines.[9] The city is credited is home to some of Pakistan's leading universities including the Government College University, Forman Christian College and LUMS.[10]
Modern day Lahore consists of an old city, which is home to several world and national heritage sites, surrounded by larger suburban communities towards the southeast.[11] The city has an important cultural influence over Pakistan including through the Sufi inspired Qawwali Music, status as home to Pakistan's film industry and a popular domestic and foreign tourist destination.[12][13] More recently, the city is home to Pakistan's technology sector and is ranked as a Gamma+ world city.[14][15] The total GDP of the city is estimated at $102 billion contributed by the presence of 9,000 industrial units.[16]

A legend based on oral traditions holds that Lahore, known in ancient times as Lavapura,[17] was founded by Prince Lava or Loū,[18][19] the son of Sita and Rama, the king of Ayodhya and an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu according to the Ramayana epic. The city of Kasur was founded by his twin brother, Prince Kusha.[20] To this day, Lahore Fort has a vacant Lava temple dedicated to Lava (also pronounced Loh, hence Loh-awar or "The Fort of Loh").[21][22] Ptolemy, the celebrated 2nd-century Egyptian astronomer and geographer, mentions in his Geographia a city called Labokla situated on the route between the Indus River and Palibothra, or Pataliputra (Patna) mostly, in a tract of country called Kasperia (Kashmir). It was described as extending along the rivers Bidastes or Vitasta (Jhelum), Sandabal or Chandra Bhaga (Chenab), and Adris or Iravati (Ravi). This city may have been ancient Lahore.[23]
The oldest authentic surviving document about Lahore was written anonymously in 982. It is called Hudud al-'Alam (The Regions of the World).[24] In 1927 it was translated into English by Vladimir Minorsky and published in Lahore. In this document, Lahore is mentioned as a town being invaded by Arabic savages[25] "impressive temples, large markets and huge orchards." It refers to "two major markets around which dwellings exist", and it also mentions "the mud walls that enclose these two dwellings to make it one." The original document is currently held in the British Museum.[26] Lahore was called by different names throughout history. To date there is no conclusive evidence as to when it was founded. Some historians trace the history of the city as far back as 4000 years ago.[27] The earliest recorded mention is by the Chinese pilgrim Hieun-tsang, who gave a vivid description of Lahore when he visited the city in AD 630.[28] Lahore has been ruled and plundered by a number of dynasties and hordes.[29]
Hindu Rajput period and invasions
Lahore is described as a Hindu principality in the Rajput accounts. Keneksen, the founder of Suryavansha is believed to have migrated out from the city.[30] The Solanki tribe, belonging to Amukhara Pattan which included the Bhatti Rajputs of Jaisalmer "point to Lahore" as their place of earliest settlement. In 1241, Lahore was invaded by Mongols. Though Timur captured the city in 1397, he did not loot it because "it was not rich then".[30]
Lahore appears as the capital of the Punjab for the first time under Anandapala – the Hindu Shahi king who is referred to as the ruler of (hakim i lahur) –after leaving the earlier capital of Waihind.[31] Few references to Lahore remain from before its capture by Sultan Mahmud of Ghaznavi in the 11th century. The sultan took Lahore after a long siege and battle in which the city was torched and depopulated. In 1021, Sultan Mahmud appointed Malik Ayaz to the throne and made Lahore the capital of the Ghaznavid Empire. As the first Muslim governor of Lahore, Ayaz rebuilt and repopulated the city. He added many important features, such as city gates and a masonry fort, built in 1037–1040 on the ruins of the previous one,[32] which had been demolished in the fighting (as recorded by Munshi Sujan Rae Bhandari, author of the Khulasatut Tawarikh in 1695–96). The present Lahore Fort stands on the same location. Under Ayaz's rule, the city became a cultural and academic centre, renowned for poetry.[33] The tomb of Malik Ayaz can still be seen in the Rang Mahal commercial area of town.[34]
After the fall of the Ghaznavid Empire, Lahore was ruled by Turko-Afghan dynasties based in Delhi, known as the Delhi Sultanate,[35] including the Khiljis, Tughlaqs, Mamluk, Sayyid and Lodhis.[36] During the reign of Qutbu l-Din Aibak, Lahore was known as the 'Ghazni of India'. Scholars and poets from as far away as Kashghar, Bukhara, Samarkand, Iraq, Khorasan and Herat, gathered in Lahore and made it a city of learning. Under Aibak, Lahore had more poets of Persian than any other Islamic city.[37] In 1286, Prince Muhammad, who was the son of Balban was defeated in an encounter with the Mongols in the city.[38]
Mughal era
In the early 16th century, Babur, a Timurid descendant of Timur and Genghis Khan from Fergana Valley (modern day Uzbekistan), swept across the Khyber Pass and founded the Mughal Empire, covering modern day Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.[39] The Mughals were descended from Central Asian Turco-Mongols. Lahore reached the zenith of its glory during the Mughal rule from 1524 to 1752. Lahore reached the peak of its architectural glory during the rule of the Mughals, many of whose buildings and gardens have survived the ravages of time.[38]
Humayun, his son married Hamida Banu Begum in Lahore while fleeing to Persia. It was also the headquarters of Mughal rule during Akbar between 1584 and 1598. Thus along with Agra and Delhi, it became an "alternate seat of imperial court". Akbar also held discussions with Portuguese missionaries in the city. Abul Fazl, his court historian calls it a "a great city in Bari Doab, in magnificance and populousness it has few equals".[40]
The Mughal period in Lahore was interrupted with Nader Shah's brief conquest in early 1739.[41] Before leaving Delhi later that same year, he gave it back to the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah, as with all other Mughal territories to the east of the Indus which he had overrun.[42] Ahmed Shah Abdali took the city between 1747 and 1758, the founder of the Afghan Durrani Empire.[28]
Maratha reign
In 1758, the Maratha Empire's general Raghunathrao conquered Lahore, Attock and Peshawar, and drove out Timur Shah Durrani, the son and viceroy of Ahmad Shah Abdali. Lahore, Multan, Peshawar, Kashmir and other subahs on the south and eastern side of Attock were under the Maratha rule for the most part. In Punjab and Kashmir, the Marathas were now major players.[43]
Afghan Durrani Empire
In 1761, following the victory at the Third Battle of Panipat between the Afghan Durrani and the Maratha Empire, Ahmad Shah Abdali again captured Lahore and remnants of the Maratha Empire in Punjab and Kashmir regions and consolidated control over them.[44] Afghan rule continued till they were defeated and Lahore was captured by the Sikhs in 1799.
Sikh reign
During the late 18th century, frequent invasions by the Durrani Empire and the Maratha Empire due to the decline of the Mughal Empire, led to a lack of governance in the Punjab region. The Sikh Misls were in close combat with the Durrani Empire, but began to gain territory and eventually the Bhangi Misl captured Lahore. When Zaman Shah invaded Punjab again in 1799 Maharaja Ranjit Singh was able to make gains in the chaos. He defeated Zaman in a battle between Lahore and Amritsar. The citizens of Lahore, encouraged by Sada Kaur, offered him the city and he was able to take control of it in a series of battles with the Bhangi Misl and their allies.[45]
Lahore served as the capital city of the Sikh Empire in accordance with Lahore being the capital of Punjab. While much of Lahore's Mughal era fabric lay in ruins by the end of 18th century a close struggle to gain control, rebuilding efforts under the Sikh Empire were shaped by and indebted to Mughal practice. Maharaja Ranjit Singh moved into the Mughal palace in Lahore's citadel.[46] By 1812 he had mostly refurbished the city's defences by adding a second circuit of outer walls that followed the outline of Akbar's original walls and were separated from them by a moat. The Maharaja also partially restored Shah Jahan's decaying gardens at Shalimar, and British maps of the area surrounding Lahore dating from the mid-19th century show that walled private gardens – many of them bearing the names of prominent Sikh nobles – continued in the Mughal pattern under Sikh rule. The Sikh court continued to endow religious architecture in the city, including a number of Sikh gurdwaras, Hindu temples and mosques.[47][48]
British Raj
Maharaja Ranjit Singh made Lahore his capital and was able to expand the kingdom to the Khyber Pass and also included Jammu and Kashmir, while keeping the British East India Company from expanding across the River Sutlej for more than 40 years. After his death in 1839 the internecine fighting between the Sikhs and several rapid forfeitures of territory by his sons, along with the intrigues of the Dogras and two Anglo-Sikh wars, eventually led to East India Company control of the Punjab ten years later in 1849. For the East India Company, the Punjab was a frontier province, because the region had boundaries with Afghanistan. Therefore, the Punjabis, unlike the Bengalis and Sindhis, were discouraged from using their mother tongue as an official language out of fear of Nationalism. The British first introduced Urdu as an official language in Punjab,[49][50] including Lahore, allegedly due to a fear of Punjabi nationalism. Under the British (1849–1947), architecture in Lahore combined Mughal, Gothic and Victorian styles.
Under the British, Sir Ganga Ram (referred to as the father of modern Lahore) designed and built the General Post Office, Lahore Museum, Aitchison College, Mayo School of Arts (now the NCA), Ganga Ram Hospital, Lady Mclagan Girls High School, the chemistry department of the Government College University, the Albert Victor wing of Mayo Hospital, Sir Ganga Ram High School (now Lahore College for Women) the Hailey College of Commerce, Ravi Road House for the Disabled, the Ganga Ram Trust Building on Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam, and the Lady Maynard Industrial School.[51]
Independence of Pakistan
Lahore played a special role in the independence movements of India. The 1929 Indian National Congress session was held at Lahore. In this Congress, the Declaration of the Independence of India was moved by Jawaharlal Nehru and passed unanimously at midnight on 31 December 1929.[52] On this occasion, the Swaraj flag (with a charkha at its centre) was adopted by the Congress. Lahore's prison was used by the British to detain revolutionaries. Noted independence activist Jatin Das died in Lahore's prison after fasting for 63 days in protest of British treatment of political prisoners. One of the most famous martyrs in the history of Indian independence, Shaheed Sardar Bhagat Singh, was hanged here.[53] The most important session of the All India Muslim League (later the Pakistan Muslim League), demanding the creation of Pakistan, was held in Lahore in 1940.[54] Muslims under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah demanded a separate homeland for Muslims of India in a document known as the Pakistan Resolution or the Lahore Resolution. It was during this session under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the leader of the league, that Muslims League publicly proposed the Two-Nation Theory for the first time.[55]
Upon the independence of Pakistan, Lahore was made capital of the Punjab province in the new state of Pakistan. Almost immediately, large scale riots broke out among Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus, causing many deaths as well as damage to historic monuments—including the Lahore Fort, Badshahi mosque and colonial buildings.[56]
After independence and its deep impact, Lahore as so many times before, once again gained its significance as an economic and cultural powerhouse of the region, through government reforms. The second Islamic Summit Conference was held in the city in 1974.[57]
Lying between 31°15′—31°45′ N and 74°01′—74°39′ E, Lahore is bounded on the north and west by the Sheikhupura District, on the east by Wagah, and on the south by Kasur District. The Ravi River flows on the northern side of Lahore. Lahore city covers a total land area of 404 square kilometres (156 sq mi).

Civic administration
Under the latest revision of Pakistan's administrative structure, promulgated in 2001,[69] Lahore became a City District, and was divided into nine towns.[70] Each town in turn consists of a group of union councils (U.C.'s).[71]
As of 2008[update], the city's gross domestic product (GDP) by purchasing power parity (PPP) was estimated at $40 billion with a projected average growth rate of 5.6 percent. This is at par with Pakistan's economic hub, Karachi, with Lahore (having half the population) fostering an economy that is 51% of the size of Karachi's ($78 billion in 2008).[72] The contribution of Lahore to the national economy is supposed to be around 13.2%.[73] As a whole Punjab has $115 billion economy making it first and to date only Pakistani Subdivision of economy more than $100 billion at the rank 144.[72] Lahore's GDP is projected to be 102 billion$ by the year 2025, with a slightly higher growth rate of 5.6% per annum, as compared to Karachi's 5.5%.[72][74]
A major industrial agglomeration with about 9,000 industrial units, Lahore has shifted in recent decades from manufacturing to service industries.[75] Some 42% of its work force is employed in finance, banking, real estate, community, cultural, and social services.[75] The city is Pakistan's largest software & hardware producing centre,[75] and hosts a growing computer-assembly industry.[75]
The Lahore Expo Centre is one of the biggest projects in the history of the city and was inaugurated on 22 May 2010.[76] Defense Raya Golf Resort, also under construction, will be Pakistan's and Asia's largest golf course. The project is the result of a partnership between DHA Lahore and BRDB Malaysia. The rapid development of large projects such as these in the city is expected to boost the economy of the country.[77] Ferozepur Road of the Central Business Districts of Lahore contains high-rises and skyscrapers including Kayre International Hotel and Arfa Software Technology Park.
Lahore Metro
The Lahore Metro or Lahore Rapid Mass Transit System (LRMTS) was first proposed in 1991. Funding was not secured, and in 2012 it was abandoned by the Punjab Government in favour of the more cost–effective Lahore Metro Bus System which opened in February 2013. However, in May 2014 the Punjab Government decided to restart development on the Lahore Metro as a $1.6 billion project with Chinese assistance. The Orange Line, which will be 27.1-kilometre (16.8 mi) long, (25.4 kilometres (15.8 mi) of which will be elevated),[78] will be the first line of the project and is under construction.[79]
Several bus companies operate in Lahore. Premier Bus Services, owned by the Beaconhouse Group, was started in 2003, and provides transportation services to the general public in Lahore. With over 240 buses running on exclusive routes, it is the largest public transport company in Pakistan. As of 2010[update], the buses are in the process of being converted to compressed natural gas for environmental and economic reasons.[80][not in citation given] Sammi Daewoo's City Bus Division operates three routes within the city and two suburban routes for Gujranwala and Sheikhupura.[81][better source needed] The Daewoo City Bus also operates routes within Lahore. Its headquarters are located in the city of Lahore. It is operated by a Korean company, Sammi. On 11 February 2013, Punjab Government launched Rapid Bus Transit System (MBS) in Lahore.[82]
The government built a new city airport in 2003. It was named Allama Iqbal International Airport after the national poet-philosopher of Pakistan, Allama Muhammad Iqbal,[83] and is served by international airlines as well as the national flag carrier, Pakistan International Airlines.[84] The old terminal now operates as the Hajj terminal to facilitate the great influx of pilgrims travelling to Saudi Arabia to perform the hajj every year.[citation needed] Lahore also has a general aviation airport known as Walton Airport. The second closest commercial airport is in Amritsar, India.[citation needed]
According to the 1998 census, 94% of Lahore's population is Muslim, up from 60% in 1941. Other religions include Christians (5.80% of the total population, though they form around 9.0% of the rural population), and a small number of Bahá'ís, Hindus, Ahmediya, Parsis, and Sikhs.
|Historical population
According to the 1998 census, Lahore's population was 6,318,745. An estimate in January 2015 gave the population of the Lahore agglomeration as 10,052,000.[2]
The people of Lahore celebrate many festivals and events throughout the year, blending Mughal, Western, and other traditions. Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha are celebrated. Many people decorate their houses and light candles to illuminate the streets and houses during public holidays; roads and businesses may be lit for days. The mausoleum of Ali Hujwiri, also known as Data Ganj Bakhsh (Punjabi: داتا گنج بخش) or Data Sahib, is located in Lahore, and an annual urs is held every year as a big festival. Basant is a Punjabi festival marking the coming of spring. Basant celebrations in Pakistan are centred in Lahore, and people from all over the country and from abroad come to the city for the annual festivities. Kite-flying competitions traditionally take place on city rooftops during Basant. Courts have banned the kite-flying because of casualties and power installation losses. The ban was lifted for two days in 2007, then immediately reimposed when 11 people were killed by celebratory gunfire, sharp kite-strings, electrocution, and falls related to the competition.[85]
Lahore remains a major tourist destination in Pakistan. Particularly the Walled City of Lahore which was renovated in 2014 is popular due to presence of UNESCO World Heritage Site's.[86]
Among the most popular sights are the Lahore Fort, located to adjacent to the Walled City, is home to Sheesh Mahal, Alamgiri Gate, Naulakha pavilion, and Moti Masjid. The fort along with the adjoining Shalimar Gardens has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981.[87]

Lahore is known as the City of Gardens. Many gardens were built in Lahore during the Mughal era, some of which still survive. The Shalimar Gardens were laid out during the reign of Shah Jahan and were designed to mimic the Islamic paradise of the afterlife described in the Qur'an. The gardens follow the familiar charbagh layout of four squares, with three descending terraces.

The apartment was everything we expected. It had all the amenities, as well as little things like laundry detergent and soap and shampoo all ready for us to use. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful, and spoke good English. The only negative was it was a bit far from the center, but we knew that when booking and it was an easy walk to the tram into the city. Would definitely recommend!

text: Is This a Scene List From an Axe Commercial? (UPDATE)Leah Beckmann2/03/12 1:49pmFiled to: AxeCommercialstwitterTweetgTweetv27EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink A possibly (hopefully) real scene list from an Axe commercial is making its way around twitter today, and it is exactly what you would expect an Axe scene list to be. This thing is full of treasures like hot dog milfs, cut off shorts and "hip/cool/sexy/upscale bar patrons," among other very LOL things.I suggest grabbing a couple friends and staging an impromptu read-through at your house. Please click on the image to expand the script below: We have reached out to Axe's PR team for comment. Stay tuned. Updated: I received the following email from a contact at Axe: Advertisement Thanks for reaching out. Axe is currently shooting a commercial in New York City for the Latin American region. This talent brief no doubt gave you a sneak peak at what's being created. We'll be sure to send you a look at the final spot once it's done. [Via Neil Hamburger's Twitter]Reply27 repliesLeave a reply
